The PharmaDev Difference

Built Differently Than a Generic Research Site

Most research sites recruit strangers. We conduct research inside an active medical practice — our affiliation with Sleep Medicine Specialists of South Florida means participants are pre-qualified, under physician care, and already know our team.

Direct Patient Access
An affiliated practice seeing 10,000+ patients/year — a continuous, pre-qualified participant stream with no third-party recruitment.
Five-Physician Specialist Network
Affiliated referrals across Pulmonary, Neurology/Psychiatry, ENT, Sleep Surgery, and Cardiology.
DEA Schedule I–V Researcher License
Enabling controlled-substance studies most community sites cannot support.
The Miami Advantage
A diverse Miami-Dade population supports enrollment of underrepresented and Hispanic demographics — a priority for modern FDA submissions.

Common Questions

Considering a Clinical Trial?

Honest answers to the questions everyone asks first.

What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a carefully designed research study that evaluates whether an investigational medicine or device is safe and effective. Every trial at PharmaDev is reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), follows FDA regulations and ICH Good Clinical Practice guidelines, and is conducted under the direct supervision of a board-certified physician.
Does it cost anything to participate?
No. All study-related medical care — exams, lab work, study medication, and monitoring — is provided at no cost to you. You do not need health insurance to participate.
Will I be compensated?
Most studies provide compensation for your time and travel. The amount varies by study and is explained clearly before you enroll — ranging from around $100 to several thousand dollars depending on the study and number of visits.
